Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ... part no more; Bv angels welcom'd to their blissful land, And wander there, like children, hand in hand, To pluck the daisy of eternal May. XVI. It is the evening of an April day. Lo! for the last time, in the cheerful sun Our lather sits, stooping his tresses gray, To hear the stream, his ancient neighbour, run, Young as if time had yesterday begun. Heaven's gates are like an angel's wing, with plumes Of glorious green and purple gold on fire: Through rifts of mountainous clouds, the light illumes Hill-tops and woods, that, pilgrim-like, retire; And, like a giant's torch, burns Morthern spire. Primrosy odours, violet-mingled, float O'er blue-bells and ground-ivy, on their wings Bearing the music of the blackbird's note; Beneath the dewy cloud the woodlark sings, But on our father's heart no gladness flings. Mary bends o'er him, mute.

Enoch hears footsteps of unwelcome sound, While at his feet the sightless mastifflies; And, lo! the blind dog, growling, spurns tha ground! "Two strangers are approaching," Enoch cries; But Mary's throbbing heart alone replies. A stern, "Good day, sir!" smites his cheek more pale; A rude collision shakes him in his chair; The Bible of his sires is mark'd for sale! But degradation is to him despair; The hour is come which Enoch cannot bear! But he can die!--and in his humble grave, Sweet shall his long rest be, by Mary's side; And o'er his coffin (uninscrib'd) shall wave The willow tree, beneath the dark tower's pride, Set by his own sad hand when Mary died. Though basely branded with a poacher's name, Poor Jos...
